A lovely class with Jo Rice

Evening all! I do hope you are fine and well. Sorry for my lack of posts and commenting - it has been a busy old summer - back to school on Monday for me so maybe things will settle down then. Or not?
Last weekend I had a lovely day with Jo Rice at the regular Lindale meeting. It was a lovely time...and we made 4 super cards using Lavinia stamps.... here's mine...

Our warm up card - simple stamping and masking... plus an envelope ...

card 2 - using the clean up from the gelli plate background for card 3.

The main event - I do so love this - gelli plate background and lots of stamping....

and finally another gelliplate background made by imprinting the inked up plate with  an embossing folder - cool idea - thanks jo!

A great day - Jo is such a good teacher!

I took the girls to Cadbury World on Monday --surfed on chocolate too! Lol!

Big hugs!

A lovely day with Jo Rice

Hello there! How are you? We are good and having fun getting ready for the silly season! We had our first Christmas party on Saturday when we went to Cumbria Crafters. It was a Lavinia day and we enjoyed making three cards and a tag...

We started with a wreath card - I enjoyed doing this but had to add an owl centrally - I also did some stamping on the card too.

My favourite card of the day - really lovely - gorgeous complex layers all gradually built up.

This one came after our substantial lunch - a really cutie of a card ...love those cute little mice!!!

and finally a simple and quick tag!

Great day was had by all! Thanks Jo!

Big hugs
